Quick Breakfast Fruit Pita

Makes 1 serving

Claudette invented this recipe for a quick and nourishing breakfast, full of fiber and great flavor. To get the benefits of flaxseed, it should be ground, but whole seeds add great crunch.

  • Preparation time: 5 minutes
1/2 banana, crushed 1/2
1 tbsp flaxseed (ground or whole) 15 mL
1 tsp pumpkin seeds 5 mL
1 6-inch (15 cm) pita 1
1 strawberry, hulled and thinly sliced 1
  1. In a small bowl, combine banana, flaxseed and pumpkin seeds.
  2. Toast pita and cut open. Stuff with banana mixture and place slices of strawberry on top. Eat while still warm from the toaster.
